Rio. Lord PONSONBY and Suite embarked in the Thetis some months since, and his Lordship having conceived that he.hall iribehien treated by her Captltin' with the respect due to, his high, station, declined to proceed in the same ship to Buenos Ayres; and Rear- Admiral Sir GEO. EyRE seems to haVe admitted the justice . of the Ambassador's complaint, by Appoint ing the Doris, Captain Sir JOHN SINCLAIR, t to convey him to his destination. The grounds of the original cause of the differences between these great men were very ridiculous, if they were as repr;e sented. It is said that Lord PONSONBY appeared in a cotton jacket on deck, contrary to the regulations of the ship, and having declined altering his dress, was ordered below by. Sir JOHN PNILLIMORE. Some other and more serious cause of difference most pro- bably existed, but we conclUde that the Captain did not act contrary to his duty, though he may have un courteously performed it, as we do not understand that any Court-Martial is likely to take place to inquire into his conduct towards Lord FONSONBY. His Lordship had probably to learn that he was only the representative of a Sovereign, while the Captain of a man-of-war is himself a King. Letters from Havre of the' 30th ult., state that an estafette had arrived there,' with accounts that ,M. BUCKET, agent for France, in Colombia,' had been recognized by that Government, in consequence of which orders have been sent to the 'different ports 'of France to admit vessels under the Colombian flag. It is mentioned in the City this morning, that advices have been received at Hamburgh from Moscow, which state that a whole division of the Russian Army has been embarked at Odessa for the purpose of proceeding to Georgia, to act against the Persians. Our City Reporter informs us, that it is confidently stated this morning that the Revenue of the quarter, up to the present period, is deficient from 700,000/. to 800,000/. under the head of Customs alone. We do not pretend to be so well informed on this point as the Gentleman of the City, and we suspect that the actual amount of the Revenue can hardly yet be ascertained by the First Lord of the Treasury himself. The. appointment of Dr. 13Rthl(LEY to . the vacant Irish. Bishoprick, is a circumstance ahich we are at a loss whether most to approve or regret. Dr. Bra t NK- L EY has for many years held unquestionably the secoiid place among the Astronomers of Europe. His la bours in that science have 'been imdefatigable : and in the later years of his career he has` been (as our scientific Readers are well aware), engaged in the ar duous research respecting the parallax of the fixed stars, which has excited in no common degree the at tention of Astronomers. Tif carrying on this keenly con troverted enquiry, Dr. Brit rtro.r.v and the Astronomer Royal, it is well known, have been long at issue, and upon the result of the discussion between two such champions, and each furnished with instruments de cidedly superior to any others, the eyes of all Europe have been fixed. Should Dr. BRINK LEY quitthe Dublin Observatory, (though we do not know that he will be wholly compelled to do so), who is there to appear in his place ? We fear, that though many of great talents might be found to succeed him, it must be long before any one, however eminent, can stand forth and occupy precisely the same footing on which the DoctOr stands, , • , or, to r es u me our metaphor, take up q ius lance and wield it 4ith his skill. At the sank, time, to bestow, preferment ,on a man so highly distinguished, reflects . the highest credit: on those who have the disposal of it. We could wish it had been any thing rather than a Bishoprick : at the same time, we they hope, for the sake of Science, in the promotion of which, even a Bishop is,' in our opinioni very properly etnployed, that his new avocations may not wholly withdraw him, at` least from - the stiperintendanee and direction of As tronomical enquiries. T. 'he Rates levied on the different •counties of Eng land seem at this moment to claim the attention of the country, as being incidentally connected with the great question of the Corn Laws. . The only plea the Agriculturists advance' to justify the imposition of those laws, ;trines out 'of the charges which are made upon the land in the s h ape of :Poor . and County Rates ; they asserting that these taxes are paid exclusively by them, that th ey are biirden sorne an d onerous in the highest deg r e e , and could not bpaid b for th e p ro t ec ti on th a t th e C orn Laws yste m . give es them emi t in keeping up the prices of agricultural produc e Not withstanding the truth of this assertion is extremely doubtful, both as to fact and as to justic e , still it has , • , made a great impress ion on the , public m ind, ar i d Ltp to this time has fully answered the' purpose with which it was originally put forth, viz. that of render ing the policy of the Corn Laws somewhat doubtful. This success has furnished the advocates of the sys tern with a sort of point d'appui, to protect one gunk of their position, and thence, with the aid of the increased sums paid in the past quarters, : : on account of Poor and County rates, 'they hope effectually to raid any alteration in the system ; or, if defeated in that,' to impose such condition's' and restriction s on any liberty to import. Corn, which the Legislature may think lit to give, as may render the privilege almost, if not 'entirely inoperative. here will be no difficulty in perceiving the dilemm a Into Which Parliament will thus be plunged ; on one Iland' 'flied to admit corn a t a moderate p ro t ect i ng duty, to reliev e the pressure Of disOcss that weighs down to the ground the poorer classes of his Majesty's subjects ; and on the other, pressed to leave things, as they are on account of the encreased and encreasing amount of the Poor and County. Rates : the first argu ment insisted on by petition alone, and the second ad-, vdcated with all the energy' and spirit of deeply inte restedp arties in person, by the interested parties them selves.ln such :a contest, Who could doubt on which side 'victory would declare, if the simple justice of the case were alone arrayed against the imposing force of its opponents. But in the present:instance justice is supported by the voice of the people •; and there •are times and circumstances when and under which this voice is irresistible, even against the strength of the in terested assembled within the walls of Parliament.— Supported also-by the Councils of the King and by the exertions of his Ministers, we are , prepared for the contest, and doubt not but the benevolent views of the King's Government - will be upheld ma/ re -the opposition of the great landed proprietors of the United Kingdom. With reference, however, to the truth of the allega tion, that the poor and county rates are paid by the land alone, it may be asked, who pays the poor and county rates of the inhabitant of a city, who derives his income from his personal labour, or his money in the funds ? who pays the poor and county rates of the occupiers of farms ? The farmers, the cultivators of the soil; or the landlords, the owners of the soil ? Did any landlord ever allow his tenant any deductions, from his rent on account o f th ese c h arges , or did t h ey , when letting their land and estimating the value of the rent, make any diminution in their deMands, because Ihe poor' and county rates of the particular parish and county were high a nd exor bit ant ? These questions arc readily replied to. They admit only of an answer in the negative, and if so, where is the truth of the assertion, that the land pays all the Poor and County Rates of the kingdom ? The far. mers lave been induced by specious arguments and promises of better times, to favour the scheme which doubled the rents of their landlords ; and jolterheads they now own themielverto have been, when they permitted themselves to be deluded, and their senses to be blinded, by the paradoxes and absurdities they have hitherto sanctioned by their voices ? Taught by experience, they now change their tones, and not one farmer (a mere occupier of the soil), is now to ,be found in these kingdoms, Who (if he speaks conscien tiously, and with bias apart), would not cry " Down with the Corn Laws." They now know, that the system which impoverishes the labourers, must im poverish them, because rent and the value of labour must of necessity advance with the price of their pro duce; and that however, by skilful management,' they contrive to get a portion of their labourers' wages paid by the Poor Rates, the landlord's rent admits_ of no such commutation, but must be paid, cOme well or come ill. But is it not monstrous, that a hard working man cannot 'with the, pri c e o f hi s labour in one week, sup port himself and family, without recurrence to the Poor's Fund ? And whence arises this inability but from the price of provisions ? The landlords truly talk about the King's taxes, as if the unfortunate men could purchase and consume exciseable commodities, and, as if a day labourer paid any sort of direct tax to the King. On the little beer he drinks a duty is levied, but will any body in their senses contend that such duty makes all the difference, whether he is able to support his family by his labour or not ? The only tax exclusively levithl, either directly or indirectly on the land, is the land -tax, the amount of which annually is a few thousands below two millions. Admitting that one-half of the Poor and County nate is paid exclusively by the Landowners (we mean over and above the sum paid by the Fundholders) the whole sum of exclusive taxation, paid by the Land holder, would not exceed seven millions. Now the whole Kingdom of England is said to contain about thirty-two millions of acres, the actual annual produc tive value of which cannot be less than on the average 40 shillings per 'acre, if the produce of ground rents for spots covered with buildings is included. This would make the annual value of . England 64 millions of pounds per year. Now it is not too much to say, that the real value of , England, at a fair rental, calcu lated on stuns per acre, rather advanced upon those of France, would not exceed 20 shillings per, acre. Thus then, 'adding one half for ground-rent for houses, we, have here a tax of 16 millions per annum, imposed on the consumers of corn, to pay a tax of Leven millions said to be imposeg exclusively upon th e l an d e d proprietors. • • CHANGE OF , MINISTRY IN MEXICO, Letters have been received from the City of Mexico of the 22d of July, and from the Coast of the 4th of August. A change of Ministry had taken place, which had by no means been agreeable to the English merchants, who esteemed the party that retired, and seemed doubtful of who they might have for their sue. mum. The Conductor, or convoy for the specie from thence to Vera Crux, had been postponed for a short time. THE FUNDS. CITY, Twelve dClock.

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. The comedy of the " Provoked Husband," was last night performed at this theatre with the usual satisfaction to a tolerably full house. Mr. Fawcett was the Sir Francis Wronghead, and a Mr.: Meadows, the Squire Richard of the evening, and of both characters we can speak in terms but of qualified praise. Miss Chester, in fact, was the chief attraction of the comedy, and as Lady Townley, evinced great spirit, elegance, and naiveté.. After the " Provoked Husband,'! an operatic piece,- in two acts, entitled the " Castle of Sorrento," was produced, or rather revived; for the purpose, as it should seem, of introducing Miss Cawse to the notice of a London audience.. She was well received, and we are pleased to adc4 deservedly so. BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. (WEDNESDAY.) The performances at St. Philip's Church ,commenced this morning with Handel's fine overture to " Esther," which is too well known to require a minute analysis.— Mr. Braham then executed the recitatave in r" Sampson," where he complains of his blindness ' (by, we believe, the same composer), i n a st yl e t h at li ter ally resernbled an exe tion or murder of good music : that celebrated line inpar ticular—" My ver y sou l i n rea l d ar k ness d we lls," he }manned over with a negligent insipidity, totally at vari ance with the intense feeling that Handel intended to pourtray. He made ample amends, however, by his mode of singing—" Total eclipse," which - follows. Mr. Bellamy gave as much effect as the limited compass of his voice (an agreeable counter-tenor) would allow, to Handers " Brave Jonathan," in the Oratorio of " Saul ;" but as the air itself, though stamp e d w i t h a ll t h e s u bli me pe culiarities of Handel, has never been very attractive, at least in England,we will not insist upon its merits. Selections from "The Tod Jesu" (death of Jesus), composed by Graun, fol lovied, in which we were deeply impressed —as, indeed, were almost all who heard them—with the thrilling grandeurof its chorusses. A r i c h er treat than the opening one, of " The Lord bath prepared his seat ;" , whether we consider its continuous, yet far more monotonous solemnity, or the perfect simplicity of its composition, was never yet expe rienced. But perhaps the most remarkable feature in this selection was the recitative by Mr. Phillips of "'Tie done;" he worked out the idea which Gown had conveyed in his music, of the general convulsion of nature at the death of our Saviour, with the impressiveness the subject de served, and eveh accompanied the words " Ye sepulchres give back you, dead," not only with a dramatic expression of voice but even of countenance. We mention this fact, as it contrasts strongly with the uniform inert stupidity of his rival (Braham's) countenance, who, whatever power he may impart to his lungs, preserves at least in his Linea meats all the dull vacuity of a true Iheotian intellect— " Bwolum in Grasso jurares aere nation.' Miss Travis, who, we were glad to perceive, seemed recovered from her yes terday's cold, was in unusually flue voice, and executed the trio " Pour forth your tears," with Messieurs knyvett and Vaughan, so admirably 'as to leave both far behind, her in consideration of the audience. The " Tod Joie was followed by selections, altered and' improved (as it was somewhat boldly said) from Mehul's Sacred Drama of " Joseph," in which there was nothing very impressive, but a pensive air sungby Madame Caradori, entitled, " How long are the days of his mourning." Two lines of this, " Our Joseph was matchless in beauty, Fair as morn o'er the bills when it glidei." with a tenderness—a delicacy—and softened melody of tone, that none but, a woman can give, and few but her own , sex can .appreciate. Mr. Bellamy executed " The people throng about thy palace gates" creditably in point of style , ,but "barbarously ungenteel," as far as action was concerned. This gentleman (and we are well ac quainted, with his style and manner of singing) . always prefaces an air with an application to his breeches pocket; why, or wherefore, the power, as Sterne says, that made us, alone knows : the reason rests with himself and his conscience. In the Third Part, Mr. Braham thrilled' his audience as usual with Handers unequalled " Jeptha's Vow." Of this sublime recitation, which seems to rim through the gamut of th e - pass i ons, di sp l ay i ng in turn, the rage, remorse, tenderness, vacillation, and Axed pur pose of a parent who • has vowed his child to 'death, it is difficult to speak in terms of common eulogium. Mr. Braham, however, did justice to the composer, and, as the dying, tones of his voice, in the air that closes the recitative " Waft her, angels, thro' the skies," pealed among the ' vaulted galleries of this noble church (for in a church alone should such divine h armon y b e heard), the effect amon g the audience was electrical. In the evening a miscellaneous Concert, in two acts, was given at the Theatre, in which we were delighted to find that Calcott—that wild and impressive genius — was i n high request. " His life's gay See!lee " lost something in the hands of Vaughan • but justice was after Wards d one to his music in the well-known glee, for five voices, " Thou art beautiful, Queen of the Valley." Miss Bacon (who, by the bye, is too close an imitator of Veluti), sung a duet with Caradori, " Ravvisa," from Meyerbeer's " Crociato in Egitto," with a-spirit that, in Irian . y instances, remi n d e d us not only of Veluti, but of Catalan also, If this young lady would trust more to her Own powers, and less to those of others, wethink she would improve by the exPeriment,for we naturally give more credit to a secondary original thane first-rate imitator. In Act. H., however, she was very successful in R o „i n p s "Elena, oh tu ;" so much so, in deed, as to cause an evident regret among the audience that she had so little to do.--So much-for th e vocal; the instrumental department of the Con cert was equ a lly well spirit,the ' as, whotole, we may say of sustained.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—(Tnts DAY.) Five men Were brought up this morning, on a charge of having been guilty of extensive robberies, in the warehouses of Messrs. Lebyter and Co. stationers,' Upper Thames-street. The evidence which was long and complicated, went ro prove that sevaral of the prisoners vim in the service of the prosecutors, had been iu the habit, for several months, of taking out paper in reams at an early hour in the morning, and car rying it to various public-houses, where a man named Brown was in the habit Of receiving it. .

THE CORN LAWS.--IThe LORI) MAYOR, at the request of Mr. Favell and others of the requisitionists, appointed Thursday, the 19th, for a Common Ball, on the subject of the Corn Laws. GUILDHALL.—(Tsus Day.) DEskirrus,--John Carter was brought to this office, 'charged with having deserted from the Marines. A Serjeant appeared, who had been in pursuit of the prisoner for some time past, and two others t►ot yet found, and who identified him,—Cornmitted. Francis Bolt was charged with violently assaulting Dennis Learie. Bolt was in custody, and Solicitors attended on both sides. The prisoner lives at No. 6, Trinity -court, Lombard street, and a few days ago Mr. Antes, an appraiser, was employed to take. possession of the goods and chattels of Bolt; he did so, and left the complainant in custody of them ; on Tuesday night the prisoner took hold of poor Learie, and as Mr. Learie would have it, meant to capsize him complattly. lie, however, thrust hint down stairs, opened the street door, turned him out, and shut it again. Sir P* - r. LAVILIE ordered the prisoner to find bail for the assault. BOW4TREET--(Tuts DAY.) Tut GRINDILLS.—EdIitond Cowper, a porter in St. Luke's Hospital, was brought up on a warrant, charging him with as sisting in the outrage lately committed on Mr. Grindell, sen. Mrs. Grindell stated, that on Tuesday previous to the out rage, the prisoner came to the uncle's house, and her hus band continued to wheedle her up stairs, leaving the pri. soner and her uncle with Mr. Hunter in the parlour. In her absence they put a straight waistcoat on the nude.— The prisoner himself acknowledged the fact, and told ber that he did it at the request of Captain Dean and Mr. Stanton. She said that there was no necessity, and gave the prisoner ht. who went oft but returned again in the evening at the desire of Captain Dean, hut she ordered him out of the house, and he complied. The prisoner Acknowledged the facts as stated, and he was ordered to find ; himself in 401., and two sureties in 201. each. • Mr. Charles Grindell not being able to procure bail, was this day committed to the House of Correction at his own request. MARYLEBONE.—(Tnis DAY.) Ann Jackson, a fair Cyprian, was Draught up by a watchman, charged with being drunk, and using foul language towards hint, at nine o'clock hut night.—Fined 51. _ Mary Winn, an ugly wretched looking woman, was accused by her own mother of barbarously beating her. Mr. Griffith—" Is not this a shameful charge against you by your own parent ?" Daughter—" She is my mother, and a dutiful daughter I have been ; but she is always dunning me with the cry of murder ; and betides, she beats and scratches me, of which this bears abundant evidence"—(pointing her finger to a goodly number of scratches on her pretty face, ) A female witness who lives in the same house with the parties, deposed, that for the• last fortnight 'she has been disturbed in her sleep by the mother's cry of murder. Mr. Griffith—" Do you know. for what reason she cries so." Witness- 4, I can assign none, Sir, but her . own wickedness." Mr. Griffith to the mother—" If you continue to disturb peo ple in this inanner,the txuwequence will be, that you must betnai into s the watch,house—Qohome all of you and learn to believe better." The parties accordingly left the office. MARLBOROVQII-STREET(Tiqs,. DiT.) henry Payet O'Shaugncssy was charged by Mr. Hayley, surgeon, of St. James's -street, his next door neighbour, with creating a disturbance round the door of his shop. Mr. Hayley stated, that about fourteen days since the defendant came to his shop, abused him, and obstructed his business. Witness had at tended the defendant and his family for some time, but on present ing his bill, defendant very modestly said that he owed him nothing. He ultimately accepted a bill, and yesterday he raised wadi a dis turbance, that witness sent him to the watch-house. Mister Henry Paget O'Shaughtiessy, in en oration as long as his cognomen, said, that he had accepted the bill as an accom inodation to the complainant, and was incensed at being arrested on it yesterday. lie denied raising a mob.

A few days since she missed some more, and went to defendant's house to enquire for them, when the latter abused and struck her. Mrs. Lane recriminated with considerable ability, and was dis charged on paying the expencoi. lIATTON.:GARDEN:—(Tuis DAY.) John Griffiths was charged with deliberately walking into the shop of Alt. Steele, a draper, of No. 81, Gray's-nm-lane, about half-past ,nine this morning, and abstracting front a shelf three remnants of superfine clod►, with which he was making t)II, when he was pursued by Milli Steele, who witnessed the transaction. She overtook hint a few yards' from the 'door, and resolutely col lared him. While; endeaVouring to loose l►imself from her hold (he having previously dropped the ninth), one of the Bow-street patrol passed, and he was secured. The prisoner said that he was a hawker of braces, &se. and had been driven by distress to the commission ►f the crime..

She asked his business, when after some hesitation he said he was looking for a young man ) named Williams. Shegave him in custody. The prisoner persisted in the same story, awl said he was intozieated at the time ; he, however, brought ,sto one forward who knew him. Mr. Sergeant St:t.LoN remarked it war a very suspicious cir- Cutustance, and - unless he could bring .forward witnesses to character, he should feel it his duty to commit biro, 44 0 WA. locked up till friends could be sent fur.

Sir Henry Halford, Dr. Macmichael, Mr., Mae grigor, and Mr. Simpson, visited the Duke of York yesterday, at the residence of the Duke of Rutland, in Arlington -street. The Royal Duke took his daily airing yesterday afternoon, Sir Herbert Taylor trans acted . military business with his Royal Highness in the morning. The Right Hon. Sir Charles Stuart arrived in town on Tuesday, from Lisbon, at which city Sir Charles had stopped on his return from his Embassy to the Emperor of the Brazils. Sir Charles transacted busi ness yesterday, at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, trans acted business yesterday at the Forei gn Offi ce . The Earl of Westmorland prrived in to wn yester . day afternoon from the Isle of Wight. It is a curious fact, that out of the thirty-six barons who signed Magna Charts, only three could write their own name, the signatures of the remainder.
